Kids aged 11-13 are invited to join the Leominster Public Library on Monday, Aug. 13 from 10-11:30 a.m. for a “Smart Robots for Tomorrow's Building” workshop with the Rhode Island Computer Museum. This program aims to explain basic concepts of robotics. Working in teams, participants will learn coding to instruct a simple robot to move objects in construction challenges. Children will use Raspberry PI. The PI programming environment allows participants to do many things with a tiny credit-card-sized computer. Children will also learn about programming electronics for making lights blink, motors run, and more. This program is great for beginners, challenging for experienced programmers, and fun for everyone.
